CDsDontBurn · May 16, 2006, 11:45 PM

pr0digal jenius · May 17, 2006, 12:20 AM

Ford Fusion v6....220-ish HP [mre then a v6 mustang], 4 doors...decent gas mileage...reasonably cheap insurance

accord coupe is 5 seats and its a massive backseat. vtec kicks in late on all hondas so straight away torque you dont win but on the highway you own.

well, apparently my insurance was only costing me $133/mo. on my 8 by the time i had crashed it, now i just wonder how much it'll change depending on the car i get and policy i get.

and i'm looking to get something used, somewhere in the range not to exceed 10k, and be no older than 10yrs. old. Maybe i can get me that 1996 528i bimmer i've been wanting

VTEC = variable [valve] timing [and lift] electronic control

VTEC works all the time, but you notice the difference beyond about 4.2 grand on the tach

BMW's are gunna run you up towards 30...no joke...even a heavily used one is in the low 20's or high teens unless its got hella lotta miles on it or is badly busted interior wise.

Accord, Civic, Taurus, Small trucks [S-10, Ranger, etc], and stuff liek that are gunan eb what you'll find in the under 10K crowd unless you find a sweet private deal

that was my 8, but since it was a MT, i could keep the rpms at 7k and launch from there, so i'd be launching w/nothing but HP

VTEC was not necessary on my 8. long live the rotary!

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · May 17, 2006, 12:46 AM

mazda's arent highest on quality charts, then again toyotas aren't the best performers who does top the charts.

the 3 series all together is an over-rated car. it sounds good handles really good, interior i want to CRY. it is not driver oriented, its cutting corners thats what. the 5 series is a different story but what lexus offers in that range still rocks.

pr0digal jenius · May 17, 2006, 12:48 AM

if you want a luxury type vehicle, look into a hyundai Azera

after my dad had an 87 hyundai stellar, never again will i touch hyundai till they bring out something nutty. the stellar is now the sonata, terrible car we had. performance on hyundais blow still, and what you pay for the materials on the inside are terrible.

pr0digal jenius · May 17, 2006, 12:56 AM

that little azera gets up and goes dude...i thought the same thign u did...and as for longevity of the itnerior, having onyl ever driven a brand new one [7.8 total miles], I've no clue...but that thing'll FLY

CDsDontBurn · May 17, 2006, 12:59 AM

i was actually thinking of getting a mazda 3, but i don't know if i can even get that ATM

why wont your insurance get you a brand new 8, and i cant belive u paid only 128 per month on insurance. here we would pay maybe 400 on something like that!

and the azera is boring i sat in it at the autoshow, but the ford fusion and 500 made me cry. i did enjoy my time in the CLS 55 AMG though!

pr0digal jenius · May 17, 2006, 01:47 AM

look at the price difference of what you're talking about here pimpsta....the damned hyundai/ford are as much as a downpayment on a benz

when i first got my 8, i was paying $300/mo on insurance (what i was paying for my truck payment way back when). a few months later i had forgotten to make a payment to my insurance, my policy was cancelled, and i went to my broker to re-instate my policy. instead, i purchased a new policy which brought me down to $225/mo, and then two months ago, i went to re-write my policy again for the same reason as the first, and ended up paying only $133/mo on insurance

.

that, and it also helped that i had "good driver discount" at the time.

now, i will try to get "good student discount" since my good driver discount will be gone now

mike2h · May 17, 2006, 02:07 AM

just glad you are okay. sorry about your ride.

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · May 17, 2006, 02:16 AM

you can't lose with toyota/lexus and honda/acura nowadays IMO. mazda is coming up slowly too. all the new VW's are appealing, much better value than an audi. the a3 is waste in my opinion, rather get the GTI

why don't you go hatchback? they are fast.... but if you want to be king get the true rotary: rx-7

pr0digal jenius · May 17, 2006, 02:18 AM

rx7's can be found in the mid-teens if you look hard enough [3rd gen ones...like 91 model]

im saying the last gen of them, they still look mean

CDsDontBurn · May 17, 2006, 02:30 AM

lol.....yes, the FDs can be quite pricey still. one that is in poor condition and have a whole bunch of miles on it will still run about a good $8,000 USD

. One in excellent condition can be found for as much as $20k USD.

and the last gen = FD, which is what both of you guys were talking about

.

i would like and FD, don't get me wrong, but the thing about that is that i need to have a car that is at least a 4 seater with the baby and all. you know, if i were to get an FD, where would the baby go? on the roof? that wouldn't work out at all. the girlie would dis own me for just even saying it

screw the passengers, get your self a C4 corvette. you can pick up a really nice one for about 8-10K.

maybe its just me, but god do i hate haveing passengers. only cars ill own are 2 seaters, or seats so damn small in back that no one can fit.

Get a SPEED 6 .. If I got a Mazda, that's what I would get..
I think they are one of the best looking cars made today (most are so damn ugly)... and it would be an awesome all weather car too. AWD, 2.3L turbo- not to mention 4 doors.

http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/disp...ehicleCode=MS6
Overview....
2.3L DOHC 16-valve inline 4-cylinder engine with turbocharger and direct gas injection
Intercooler
Aluminum head and block
Peak horsepower 274 @ 5500†
Peak torque (lb-ft) 280 @ 3000
Redline 6700
Displacement (cubic inches) 137.9
Bore x stroke (inches) 3.44 x 3.70
Compression ratio 9.5:1
6-speed manual transmission
All-wheel drive
Front double wishbone suspension
Rear independent E-type multi-link suspension
4-wheel disc brakes
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)
Traction Control System (TCS)
Active torque-split All-wheel drive system
Rear limited-slip differential

EPA mileage, city/highway 19 / 25

18-inch 15-spoke alloy wheels

STEERING-
Rack-and-pinion
Engine-speed-sensing variable assist

TIRES-
P215/45R18 93Y summer radials

ETC-
Speed sensing variable-intermittent windshield wipers
Tilt and telescopic steering wheel
Illuminated steering wheel-mounted audio controls
Cruise control with illuminated steering wheel-mounted controls
Power sliding-glass moonroof with interior sunshade O
Navigation system O
Moonroof wind deflector O

Would be a fun as well as practical car...

"....the most powerful sedan Mazda has ever built."

the turbocharger delivers much of its 15.6 psi of boost from approximately 2,500 rpm, making the small engine feel like one twice its size, while still earning impressive EPA ratings of 20 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. Kaneko says the DISI engine is likely to carry over to future Mazda vehicles as well.
